JOYSTICK WORKING AND DRIFT :GAMING TO AEROSPACE

  TITLE: THE EVOLUTION AND MECHANICS OF JOYSTICKS: FROM GAMING TO AEROSPACE INTRODUCTION: JOYSTICKS HAVE TRANSCENDED THEIR ORIGINS AS MERE GAMING PERIPHERALS TO BECOME INTEGRAL COMPONENTS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, FROM AVIATION AND SPACE EXPLORATION TO MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY. THESE VERSATILE INPUT DEVICES HAVE EVOLVED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEIR INCEPTION, OFFERING PRECISE CONTROL AND ERGONOMIC DESIGN. THIS ARTICLE DELVES INTO THE EVOLUTION, MECHANICS, AND DIVERSE APPLICATIONS OF JOYSTICKS ACROSS DIFFERENT FIELDS. HISTORY OF JOYSTICKS: THE CONCEPT OF THE JOYSTICK DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY USED IN AVIATION FOR CONTROLLING AIRCRAFT. THE EARLIEST JOYSTICKS WERE SIMPLE MECHANICAL DEVICES CONSISTING OF A LEVER MOUNTED ON A PIVOT, WHICH PILOTS USED TO MANEUVER THEIR PLANES. OVER TIME, JOYSTICKS FOUND THEIR WAY INTO ARCADE GAMES, HOME CONSOLES, AND EVENTUALLY PERSONAL COMPUTERS, REVOLUTIONIZING THE GAMING INDUSTRY. MECHANICS OF JOY...

FLASH MEMORY - A SHORTNOTE

 FLASH MEMORY HELLO FRIENDS TODAY I AM GOING TO TELL YOU  SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT  I KNOW ABOUT A TOPIC KNOWN AS  VIRTUAL MEMORY, SO LETS BEGIN. VIRTUAL MEMORY IS A MEMORY MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY OF AN OPERAING SYSTEM THAT USES HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO ALLOW A COMPUTER TO COMPENSATE FOR PHYSICAL MEMORY SHORTAGES BY TEMPORARILY TRANSFERING DATA FROM RAM TO INACTIVE SPACE IN HARD DISK DRIVES TO FORM CONTIGOUS ADDRESESE THAT HOLD BOTH THE APPLICATION AND ITS DATA. A SYSTEM USING VIRTUAL MEMORY USES A SECTION OF HARD DISK DRIVE TO EMULATE RAM WITH VIRTUAL MEMORY A SYSTEM CAN LOAD LARGER PROGRAMS LIKE PUBG OR FREE FIRE RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME ALLOWING NO MORE RAM REQUISITE. WHILE COPYING VIRTUAL MEMORY INTO THE PHYSICAL MEMORY THE OS DIVIDES MEMORY INTO PAGE FILES WITH A FIXED NUMBER OF ADDRESSES. EACH PAGE IS STORE ON A DISK AND WHEN THE PAGE IS NEEDED THE OS COPIES IT FROM THE DISK TO THE RAM.  THIS IS CALLED A PAGE SWAPPING. SO LETS SEE HOW TO CONFIGURE A VIRTUAL MEMO...

FILE SYSTEM AND FORMATTING

  FILE SYSTEM AND FORMATTING   IN THIS POST I AM GOING TO TEACH YOU ABOUT VARIOUS TYPES OF FILE SYSTEM AND FORMATTING USED IN COMPUTERS. SO LETS START.   THE FILE SYSTEM DICTATES HOW INFORMATION IS ORGANIZED ON THE DISK.   FOR EXAMPLE, THE FILE SYSTEM DETERMINES HOW LARGE THE ALLOCATION UNIT, OR STORAGE UNIT, THE FILE IS.     THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS INTRODUCE THE DIFFERENT FILE SYSTEMS AVAILABLE AND THE OS’ S THAT SUPPORT THEM.   THE FAT FILE SYSTEM – THE FILE ALLOCATION TABLE (FAT) FILE SYSTEM HAS BEEN THE MOST POPULAR FILE SYSTEM UP UNTI L THE LAST FEW YEARS.   THE FILE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR THE SMALL DISK AND SIMPLE FOLDER STRUCTURES.     IT RESIDES IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SYSTEM. IT KEEPS TWO COPIES OF THE DATA IN ITS TABLE AS BACK UP SO THAT IF ANY COPIES BECOME CORRUPTED IT CAN CURE THAT CORRUPTION.     THE FILE ALLOCATION TABLE ALONG WITH THE ROOT FOLDER SHOULD BE KEPT ON FIXED POSITION SO THAT B...

EXPANSION SLOTS: A SHORT NOTE

  FRIENDS TODAY I AM GOING TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXPANSION SLOTS. SO LETS BEGIN WITH OUR TOPIC. EXPANSION SLOTS ARE USED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES FOR CARRYING THE COMPUTATION TASK SUCH AS ADDITIONAL VIDEO, AUDIO AND SOUND, ADVANCED GRAPHICS AND ETHERNET.   SO LETS BEGIN WITH OUR KNOWLEDGE HUNTING. I WILL START BY AGP EXPANSION SLOTS.   AGP AGP STANDS FOR ACCELARATE GRAPHICS PORT.  AGP WAS INTRODUCED WITH HIGH SPEED 3D GRAPHICS DISPLAY IN 1996.  IT IS USED FOR OLDER GRAPHICS CARD TYPES WHICH IS DISCONTINUED BY PCI EX16 GRAPHICS PORT IN 2005.   THESE WERE KERNEL VERSION OF AGP MOST OF THE BRAND IN 1.5 VOLT DC.  AGP 1X CHANNEL AND 66MHZ CLOCK SPEED RESULTING A DATA TABLE OF 266 MBPS.   AGP 2X, 4X ,8X SPECIFICATION MULTIPLY MHZ CLOCK TO PRODUCE INCREASE THROUGHPUT. AGP 8X PRODUCES EFFECTIVE CLOCK FREQUENCY OF 533 MHZ RESULTING A THROUGHPUT OF 2 GBPS (2133MHZ) RESULTING A THROUGHPUT OF OVER A 32 BIT C...

DIGITAL COMPUTER -A SHORT NOTE

  DIGITAL COMPUTER TODAY COMPUTERS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY IN EVERY DAY LIFE.  IT IS USED IN BASIC AS WELL AS INDUSTRIAL, SCIENTIFIC AND COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.  OUR SPACE PROGRAM WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WELL DEVELOPED WITHOUT THE REAL TIME MONITORING OF THE MACHINE OF THE SPACECRAFT WHICH WAS GOING TO LAND ON MOON OR ANY OTHER PLANET OF THE SCHEDULED PROGRAM OR LAUNCHING OF SATELLITES ON THE ORBIT OF EARTH. THIS IS THE SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE I TOLD YOU ABOUT WHILE IT HAS COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.  LIKE AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING WHICH THE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE USES.   IT HAS MANY WORKS IN EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES FOR EXAMPLE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION ANSWERS CAN BE CHECKED WITHOUT ANY ERROR AND THEN THE RESULTS CAN BE PRINTED OUT AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE HELP OF THE PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE DIGITAL COMPUTER.  DIGITAL COMPUTER ARE ALSO USED IN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TO CONTROL THE AVIATION INDUSTRY TO HELP THEM CONTROL THE PLANES BY SENDING THEM DATA ABO...

COMPUTER FREQUENTLY RESTARTS, COMPUTER RANDOMLY RESTARTS.

  COMPUTER FREQUENTLY RESTARTS WHAT TO DO WHEN COMPUTER FREQUENTLY RESTARTS.  WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR ITS PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION?  LET US SEE! CAUSE NO 1 CPU OVERHEAT SOLUTION    CHECK THE CPU TEMPERATURE FROM BIOS.  IF THE CPU TEMPERATURE IS HIGH, EJECT THE CPU FAN AND CLEAN IT PROPERLY WITH COMPRESSED AIR AND BRUSH.   APPLY THE RIGHT COOLING PASTE WITH A PIECE OF CLOTH. NOW APPLY GOOD QUALITY COOLING PASTE WITH A THERMAL COMPOUND OVER THE PROCESSOR.  ATTACH THE HEAT SINK AND FAN AND CHECK THE TEMPERATURE AGAIN.  IF THE CPU FAN SPEED IS LOW AFTER CLEANING , CLEAN THE FAN WITH ISOPROPHYL ALCOHOL, DIESEL AND WHITE PETROL. NOW ATTACH THE FAN AGAIN CHECK THE FAN SPEED IF IT IS SAME AS BEFORE REPLACE THE FAN. CAUSE NO 2 VIRUS   IF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO VIRUS.  INSTALL A GOOD QUALITY ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE (AVAST, AVG AND QUICK HEAL)ETC AND SCAN THE SYSTEM. CAUSE NO 3 RECENTLY INSTALLED A SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, DEVICE DRIVER. ...

CHECKING WHETHER THE HARDWARE IS WORKING PROPERLY OR NOT.  BY MONITORING THE BIOS, YOU CAN MANAGE HARDWARE, INSTALL COMPABILITY UPDATES, CHANGE THE SEQUENCE OF THE BOOTING AND ALSO OTHER FUNCTIONS. BY VIEWING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE BIOS BASIC MONITORING OF THE MANY ITEMS CAN BE DONE WITH VARYING DEGREES OF UNCERTAINITY. IT IS SIMPLY MATTER OF NAVIGATING THE MENU BASED BIOS PROGRAM AND LOCATING THE PROPER SCREEN THAT PROVIDES THE INFORMATION.  EXAMPLES ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS ALL ABOUT BIOS      ...
